Selected Lipizzaner studs, led by the riders of Lipica Classical Riding School, completely impressed the spectators from Slovenia and abroad. The high tourist season in Lipica thus started with a well-visited premiere and positive feedback from all in attendance, who praised the new concept of visits to the stud.

This Saturday, at around 7 in the morning, the year’s first foal was born on the Lipica Stud Farm. The filly Monteaura was born to the mother 437 Monteaura XXXII and father 144 Conversano Samira XVIII. Her birth brought heartfelt joy to all the caretakers of the breeding heard at the Lipica Stud Farm.

The traditional breeding of the Lipizzaner in the Lipica Stud Farm meets all the criteria and can be listed in the Living Heritage Register of the Republic of Slovenia.
